LM
Syntax
LM(P:POLY or VECTOR):same type as P
Summary
the leading monomial of a polynomial or vector
Description
This function returns the leading monomial of P. The monomial
includes the coefficient. To get the leading term of P, (which does
not included the coefficient), use LT
.
example
Use R ::= Q[x,y];
LM(3x^2y+y);
3x^2y
-------------------------------
LM(Vector(2x,y));
Vector(2x, 0)
-------------------------------
LT(Vector(2x,y));
Vector(x, 0)
-------------------------------
